The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2813

Although Dahlia had dangled a cool million in front of him to take the risk of posting that photo on his homepage, nobody could have guessed that Nolan would fly off the handle and wipe out years of his hard work in one fell swoop.

It was just like that commenter had said on the forum, he was lucky that was all that happened. If this ever hit the courts, he'd be up the creek without a paddle.

A million bucks wouldn't even cover the legal fees. The Harris Group had a fleet of shark-like lawyers at their disposal. What did Waller have? Nothing but a hot mess on his hands and a dwindling bank account.

Dahlia sure knew how to play the game, handing him this ticking time bomb and promising it'd be a gold mine. Waller spit on the ground in disgust.

Dahlia and her team were watching the fallout closely, too. She never expected Nolan to cut her off so completely, not even leaving her a shred of dignity.

"It's got to be a PR stunt by her, right? How else could they pull that photo from the net so quickly?"

"Or maybe it's a power play gone wrong? Talk about a public humiliation—her dance career hasn't even taken off and she's already lost face."

Since Dahlia wasn't their favorite personality, the online comment sections had a field day roasting her.

"Don't listen to them, Dahlia. Those classless trolls wouldn't know real art if it slapped them in the face."

Her colleagues tried to comfort her, "Right, Dahlia. You're the queen of contemporary dance, vetted by all the industry legends. These people don't know squat!"
